So the other day, I was thinkin' about...
I was thinkin' about...
I WAS THINKIN' ABOUT...
Okay, so I was actually kinda takin' a nap.
MOUSES!
You ever do that, my friends? You ever lie down on the chesterfield or a chair in the middle of the day, close your eyes, and...
And...
AND...
Zzzzzz.....
Well to tell you the truth, I do that all the time.
MOUSES!
But SOMETIMES I don't wanna admit that I've fallen asleep at say, two o'clock in the afternoon.
You know, 'cause it might make me look lazy.
So I tell the ol' peep that I'm actually not sleepin' at all, but rather...
RESTIN' MY EYES.
MOUSES!
Yeah, she never buys it, either.
MOUSES!
The thing is, I work hard. I, Seville the Cat, work my tail off, for sure. I'm probably the hardest workin' cat that ever there was. EVER. Ever in the entire history of the whole wide world!
MOUSES!
Why, I have my nip farming enterprise, for example.
Although truth be told, as a GentleCat Farmer, I don't actually do any of the work. I just tell everyone else what to do.
MOUSES!
And I have my blog. Now THERE'S somethin' I work hard at, 'cause in case you didn't know, I WRITE ALL MY OWN STUFF. And believe it or not, there are some peeps out there who don't know I write all my own material. I know this on account of peeps e-mailin' me all the time, askin' if they can write posts on Nerissa's Life.
Like a peep could ever possibly write as well as a cat.
MOUSES!
Oh, and I have my household chores, of course. You know the ones. Chores like keepin' the peeps in order and under control. Preventing 'em from doin' stupid stuff and whatnot, and...
Excuse me while I roll around on the floor, laughin'.
Okay, so I don't exert too much effort preventin' Peepers from doin' stupid stuff. Partly 'cause it would be futile, and partly on account of her doin' SO MUCH STUPID STUFF that if I were to spend all my time stoppin' her from doin' said stupid stuff, I'd have no time left for the important things in life like snacks and imbibin' in catnip and...
Well...
WELL...
MID-AFTERNOON NAPS.
But...
But there's no need for peeps to know I'm enjoyin' a nap at two o'clock in the afternoon. LET THEM THINK I spend my every wakin' hour workin' hard and whatnot. AND LET THEM THINK I spend all day, every day, wide awake.
So...
So if you happen to see me lyin' on the chesterfield at, say... . two o'clock in the afternoon...
EVEN IF I happen to be snorin' at the time...
What I'm actually doin'...
WHAT I'M ACTUALLY DOIN'...
IS JUST RESTIN' MY EYES.
And thinkin'.
Plannin'.
PLOTTIN'!
OBVIOUSLY, makin' the best use of my time.
MOUSES!
Remember to mask up, too.
Seville, I can purrsonally reassure yoo that watching our hoomoms go about their day, running here and there, bizzy bizzy bizzy is absolutely EXHAUSTING. And that kidn of exhaustion needs a nap. No question about it. So nap away. If something important happens I'm pretty sure yoo will hear yoor peep hollaring real loud. Love, Dori
ReplyDeleteWe all are convinced that you are working your wee paws to the bone for your peeps, Seville!
ReplyDeleteI never think about taking a nap Seville, I just do it!
ReplyDeleteI rest my eyes a lot when I try to read a book. :)
ReplyDeleteSeville, people just don't understand how hard you work.
ReplyDeleteMOL. My dad just rests his eyes all the time, Sivvers. Actually, so do I. XO - Ava
ReplyDeleteIf my human doesn't get enough sleep at night, she tries to take a nap in the afternoon... and it almost always winds up being like two hours! Then she works past midnight and starts the cycle all over again. She needs to be more like a kitty, and play past midnight to earn her two hour naps.
ReplyDeleteSeville, you are working FAR TOO HARD! So much hard work is NOT GOOD for a kitty! We hope your Peeps appurreciate the way you are slaving away to make the World a Better Place (mol).

ReplyDeleteHa ha I won't tell peeps about your afternoon catnap paws crossed.You must be mighty busy with your catnip patch.x😻💖🐾
ReplyDeleteSeville you need to tell the peeps that if they want someone to manage the household, and they need it, they better up the ante!
